One of the better written articles I've seen in the NYT.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/18/m...x-crashes.html


It's written more for laymen than https://seekingalpha.com/instablog/3...se-pilot-error

which I also recommend but the latter article is targeted more toward pilots or people familiar with operational analysis.

I still prefer Boeing's pilot-centric design philosophy over Airbus' robotic approach but that only works if airmen are at the controls -- in both seats. Ethiopian Airlines apparently has a decent reputation in the industry but I can't fathom putting someone in the right seat with 154 hours of experience. Would you hand the keys for a Ferrari to a new driver who had driven to the mall a hundred or more times?
